It does tend to raise one's suspicion, that's for sure. I never said don't investigate him in reference to LH's case, just don't leave out other possibilities either.

Not dense at all. Actually a good question. Because the Sheriff's Office runs the jail, they have all records of the inmates and their arrests. Same reason all arrests on the Sheriff's website.
To be honest, I'm not sure why capital was filed against him. Been trying to make sense of that one...
Just to clarify a few things here...
212 S. Penn is within the Salina city limits. Lori was murdered near Assaria, which is a 10 minute or so drive south of Salina.
I will remind everyone again that I verified through the Sheriff's Office that JJB's charges are ATTEMPTED 1st Degree Murder and...
Reminder...JJB was booked on ATTEMPTED capital murder. Additionally, Lori's murder would not be a capital murder case under Kansas law.

JJB CHARGES...
Just heard back from the Sheriff's Office. Below you will find my email to them along with their response at the top. Hope this clears up any questions regarding JJB's charges. You might have to click on it to view...
Kansas does still have the death penalty, though no one has been executed in Kansas since 1965. As a result, prosecutors rarely ever seek the death penalty.
Those are the charges I am inquiring about. Remember, the first-degree murder charge, despite it not showing it, is for ATTEMPTED. I am also trying to get a clarification on that as well. Also, trying to get a clarification on the capital murder charge as well.
I have reached out to both the Saline County Sheriff's Office and the Salina Police Department to get a clarification on JJB's charges. Hope to provide more information soon. Stay tuned!
I've been a journalist long enough to know that in a high profile case such as this that has generated so much media attention, that had JJB been booked for Lori's murder, a press conference of some sort would have been held by now. My gut as a journalist just doesn't buy JJB as a suspect in...
First of all, as noted in The Salina Post story, JJB was booked on a charge of ATTEMPTED first degree murder and ATTEMPTED capital murder. The jail website has his charges listed by statutes and for some reason, the attempted does not appear with those statues, which creates a ton of confusion...
Another FYI...
Finding info on The Salina Post on Lori's case is now easier than ever. This morning, I added a tab to the main page for Lori's murder, where everything we publish regarding the case will go. I have attached a screenshot the site to help everyone find it. Look for the red oval in...
An FYI...while at the Sheriff's Office today for the daily media briefing, I did ask if there was anything new on Lori's case and was told there was not.
My thoughts on JJB...
JJB was arrested in early July in connection with an incident that was not related to the Heimer homicide...

JJB, in my opinion, really does not fit the descriptions of either of the...
